Yicheng Loyal Xie
Filmmaker Bio
I’m a filmmaker fascinated by how shifting perspectives and withheld details can completely reshape a story—and the truth itself. My work often plays with fractured timelines, unreliable narrators, and narrative puzzles that ask the audience to actively participate. I explore the emotional complexity within families, especially the silence, guilt, and loyalty inherited across generations.
I see storytelling as origami: each narrative fold—whether followed or defied—reveals something unexpected. I aim to create stories that don’t just unfold on screen, but continue unfolding in the viewer’s mind long after the film ends.
